APRILIA RSV4 FACTORY APRC SPECIAL EDITION
APRILIA'S DOMINATION IN THE WORLD SUPERBIKE CHAMPIONSHIP HAS GIVEN RISE TO A SPECIAL EDITION OF A MOTORCYCLE THAT ALREADY SET NEW STANDARDS FOR THE SUPERSPORTS STREET BIKE GENRE: THE APRILIA RSV4 FACTORY APRC SPECIAL EDITION IS THE NEW BENCHMARK FOR THE SUPERSPORTS SEGMENT.
ULTRA-SOPHISTICATED ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT: THE APRC PACK LETS THE RIDER FREELY ADJUST EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF THE BIKE'S PERFORMANCE AND HANDLING EXACTLY AS DESIRED.
Racing heritage
Created with the single-minded goal of being simply the best on the track and on the road, since its inception the Aprilia RSV4 has astonished the world with its looks, technology and performance. The first 65° V-4 engine ever in a sports production bike, a chassis worthy of a 250 GP, Ride By Wire, multimap engine management: all these are accomplished achievements for the Aprilia RSV4, that
tops unique architecture and specs with Aprilia's signature excellent rideability brought to the next level.
But records are made to be broken. Thanks to the unrelenting efforts of the Aprilia R&D department and a very close collaboration between Racing Department and production, the Aprilia RSV4 has made a giant leap forward.
The RSV4 Factory APRC Special Edition is a milestone in the history of super sport bikes. All of the racing expertise and indications gathered during the successful 2010 season of World Champion Max Biaggi were brought together in a bike that sets a new standard for future road bike development.
Unique adjustable traction control capable of self-adjusting to suit different types of tyres, wheelie control, launch control, quick shift: these are the RSV4 Factory APRC SE's new features that raise the bar in track performance even further up.
Aprilia's technological supremacy meant that every aspect of the electronic management system for the RSV4 Factory SBK, with which Max Biaggi dominated the 2010 World Superbike Championship, could be developed in house. As a result of the innovative know how developed on the circuit and the close collaboration between the team, the Racing Division and the manufacturing division, the transfer
of this technology from the track to production was practically instantaneous.
This is how the Aprilia people were able to turn out the fastest, most effective bike on the track, a bike whose only goal is to post the fastest lap. State of art technology.
This new technology is brought together in the APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) package, basically the state of the art in dynamic performance control, a multi-patented system that makes Superbike winning technology available to professional racing riders and hobby riders alike. All this comes in an easy to use, intuitive package.
Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC SE's improvements are not limited to the electronic management system. The 65° V4 engine offers improved lubrication and closer spaced gears for better acceleration. The new, lighter exhaust features an advanced butterfly valve management system to suit the Ride By Wire mapping for improved breathing and efficiency throughout the RPM range.
In addition, the Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC SE is the first super sport bike sporting the homologated new-generation extra performance dual blend 200/55 tyres developed in collaboration with Pirelli based on the expertise gathered on World Superbike racing circuits.
